General Information

This manual describes how to add the SPECT8 Chat module and the SPECT8 OTT Overlay to your video player.

You can jump directly to Chat Web Integration.

Note that a one-time Tenant setup is required for any of our customers.

Assumptions

Integration information given on these pages assumes the following:

  • You have a access to a video stream for your event, which provides a reliable source of time signals that define the current video frame's event time

Terminology

  • A broadcast is some video content for any type of event, e.g. a tennis match or a casting show, for which a video stream is available somewhere (most likely some CDN). Every broadcast must have a unique id.
  • The overlay is our OTT overlay solution, which is placed as a layer on top of the video player embedded in your app or web page.
  • The chat module is embedded as iFrame in your app or web page.
